A concert in the game? That’s not as unusual as it might sound. In Wargaming’s World of Tanks, the punk rock band The Offspring will soon perform.
What was announced? Via Twitter, the California punk rock band The Offspring announced that they will have a virtual performance in the online game World of Tanks starting on September 18. There will be an in-game concert.

Who are The Offspring? The band was founded in 1984 under the name Manic Subsidal, but changed its name to The Offspring in 1986. With the third studio album Smash , the band achieved commercial success. It has sold over 11 million copies.
Some of their well-known songs include Self Esteem, Come Out and Play (Keep ’Em Separated), Gotta Get Away, and Pretty Fly (For a White Guy), as well as The Kids Aren’t Alright.
The Offspring had a guest appearance in the horror film Idle Hands (Die Killerhand) from 1999 and composed the soundtrack for the movie “Orange County”.
How can you watch the concert? In the game garage, you will find a stage starting September 18, where the band will perform their songs. You can simply watch the concert directly in the game and take a break from the tank battles with some music.
Has this happened before? Yes, bands have had performances in games before. Here is a small selection:
The medieval rock band In Extremo performed in Gothic 1
The metal band Blind Guardian gave a concert in Sacred 2
The nu-metal group Korn was heard in AdventureQuest3D
Concerts in games are good promo
What’s the deal with these performances? The virtual concert takes place to celebrate the WG Fest 2019, the big “World of Tanks Convention” where fans celebrate the online game. During the fest, The Offspring also had a live performance. The WG Fest 2019 took place on September 15 in Belarus.
These cross-promotion actions are expected to benefit both sides, the games and the bands. Fans of the musical groups may check out the game and perhaps stick around. Fans of the games may then find the bands appealing and buy their albums.
What do the players think about it? Many fans of both The Offspring and World of Tanks find the initiative quite cool and look forward to seeing the band perform in the game starting September 18. Those who are not interested can certainly ignore the concert.
Microsoft’s new shooter Gears 5 managed to captivate over 3 million players on its first weekend, according to Microsoft. But the sales figures are not good. How is that possible?
What is Gears 5? The shooter is the latest installment in the popular Gears of War series. This time you take on the roles of heroes JD, Marcus Fenix, Kait Diaz, and Delmont Walker. They are trying to stop an invasion of the alien swarm.
You play Gears 5 from a third-person perspective, and the series is characterized by cinematic battles, a dense story, and a combat system where you always need to find cover and approach tactics.
How successful is Gears 5: The latest installment of the series was released on September 10. According to Microsoft, more than 3 million players played last weekend. You can purchase Gears 5 for PC (through the Microsoft Store and Steam) as well as for Xbox One.
According to Microsoft, it is also the biggest launch of an Xbox game this year.
What is unusual about these numbers? The sales figures tell a slightly different story. According to analyst Daniel Ahmad, Gears of War 3 sold about 20 times better than part 5 according to the UK retail charts. Even part 4 sold around 4.5 times more.

However, these numbers only represent retail sales. It is of course also possible to purchase Gears 5 digitally. But here too, one sees that the sales figures are likely not very good.
According to Steamcharts, Gears 5 reached a peak of about 9,880 players simultaneously. The trend is currently declining. But one must also consider that the title is additionally offered through the Microsoft Store.

How are the high player numbers achieved? Gears 5 is part of the Xbox Game Pass. Those who get this pass can play Gears 5 “for free” as part of the subscription.
The Xbox Game Pass for console currently costs €9.99 per month. You get access to about 100 games. New titles are regularly added to the library. In addition, the first 14 days are free.
The Game Pass on PC is currently still in beta, and you can get it for €3.99 at the moment.
However, there are also ongoing offers around the Game Pass, where you can use it for example for one month for €2.
Game Pass users can play Gears 5 anyway. Others get the pass in a deal or through the PC beta and thereby also play the shooter very cheaply. This results in the significantly higher player numbers compared to the actual sales figures of the game.
Gears 5 owes its current success to the Xbox Game Pass. Because this is how Microsoft is “pushing” the game – and thus of course also the interest in the Xbox Game Pass. A new AAA shooter for little money? The next installment of the popular Gears series in the Game Pass? That could encourage many to get the pass.
What do players think of Gears 5? The ratings on Steam are currently “mixed” with 53%. Players complain that they have to grind through all levels after upgrades, which disrupts the flow of the game. Additionally, there are said to be a number of bugs.
Nevertheless, Gears 5 is considered a very good cover shooter, which can impress with its dense atmosphere and narrative. It also shows on Metacritic that Gears 5 is well received:
With the start of week 3 of the Ultra Bonus in Pokémon GO, there are also some changes to raids. Mewtwo has been made significantly stronger.
This is how the changes affect you: Many players who are part of small communities will likely be frustrated. Mewtwo was manageable with three players, but now it is almost unbeatable in a trio.
Additionally, you will need to make some changes to raid planning, as the timers have changed again.
These 3 changes are present in week 3
Mewtwo is now this strong: Since Niantic has increased the stats of the Psychic Pokémon, it is now significantly stronger in raids. It now takes 4 solid players to defeat Mewtwo.
This is a significant improvement for Mewtwo, as up until now, 3 players at level 25 were enough to take down Mewtwo.
The changes have no impact on the captured Mewtwo. It will not be stronger for you in battle.
There are still no changes to the counters. Some of the new Gen 5 Pokémon are also good counters against Mewtwo, but your current battle team is still just as effective.
This is changing with the raid times: After the raid timer was increased to 90 minutes for Deoxys, there is now a change again. Everything is back to normal. A raid lasts for 45 minutes and the egg is on the gym for one hour beforehand.
This is likely because currently only Mewtwo is hatching from the 5-star raids. Previously, all 4 forms of Deoxys were in the raids and some trainers only wanted specific forms. This made planning easier.
This is what you need to know about the new move: Mewtwo now also has the move Psystrike. However, this charged move cannot be learned via TMs. You cannot teach the move to old Mewtwo.
Survival games like Conan Exiles and ARK: Survival Evolved have fascinated many thousands of people for some time now. The first representatives of the genre are actually much older – over 30 years. We will look at how the genre got started.
What are survival games anyway? Survival games play with the human instinct for survival. They tempt players to survive and possibly flee in a mostly inhospitable or dangerous world.
Typically, survival games focus on satisfying various realistic needs such as warmth, food, water, or sleep, which are often only covered in the form of scarce resources.
Moreover, there is the challenge of acquiring new equipment with the rare materials, as they can break. In newer survival games, crafting, building, and exploring the world also play a significant role.
Which was the first survival game?
The question of the first game in the survival genre is not easy to answer. From the perspective of the year, The Oregon Trail from 1971 would be the first survival game. The Oregon Trail was a text-based educational game, where mechanics like resource management, decisions, and permadeath played a significant role – similar to “This War of Mine” today.
The game was about leading a caravan along the eponymous “Oregon Trail” in the Wild West, and children were supposed to learn about responsibility and the history of the pilgrims in the 19th century.
Modern survival elements, however, were only implemented in later games. There are three games that were released within a few years of each other and could be considered the first survival game in their own way.
For modern games in the genre, however, it is noted that they have carried forward certain elements from all three. Therefore, we will introduce them together and declare all three as founding games of the genre.
Seven Cities of Gold
What is Seven Cities of Gold? Seven Cities of Gold was developed by the American studio Ozark Softscape and released in 1984, published by Electronic Arts. However, the game is actually not a survival game, but a strategy and adventure game.
You play an explorer during the time of the Spanish Empire and, similar to the new survival title New World, are supposed to discover the new world. To do this, you first need to prepare your ship and set sail from your hometown in a 2D side scroller.

Then you search the open sea for the new world. Once you have discovered it, you will colonize it. You find villages with natives and can either subdue them through violence or trade until you can finally establish new cities. The controls work via joystick.
What makes Seven Cities of Gold a survival game: Although there is nothing about survival in Seven Cities of Gold, the game combines some mechanics that later survival titles have inspired (or could have inspired).
As you explore the new world, you must ensure that your expedition has enough food and troops and make sure that you can bring gold back to the ship.
There is no real goal here. You can continuously acquire gold and will eventually be appointed governor or viceroy by the Spanish crown. The maps are randomly generated, which was an unusual novelty at the time.
Heart of Africa
What is Heart of Africa? Heart of Africa is a sort of spiritual successor to Seven Cities of Gold. Heart of Africa was also developed by Ozark Softscape and released by Electronic Arts in 1985.
Instead of discovering the new world of America, you explore the African continent here. Dressed in stereotypical safari attire, including a hat, you roam through deserts, savannas, and villages, trade, and search for treasures.

Visually, Heart of Africa strongly resembles its “predecessor”. You cover larger distances on a smaller map, while transformations in villages are portrayed in zoom on the protagonist. The control is also via joystick.
What makes Heart of Africa a survival game: In Heart of Africa, you have to actually fight for survival if you want to reach your treasures. You must pay attention to a few things, such as:
Increase in food and water
Treatment of injuries and poisoning from wildlife
Dealing with the natives to maintain trading privileges
If you ignore one of these factors for too long, the game ends sooner and without success for you. The goal is to find the tomb of Pharaoh Ahnk Ahnk, whose location is randomly generated in each game.
Wilderness: A Survival Game
What is Wilderness? Wilderness is the game that appears as the oldest game on the list of survival games on Wikipedia. Unlike the previously mentioned adventure and strategy games, which featured survival aspects, Wilderness is actually referred to as a survival game.
Wilderness was developed by Titan Computer Products and released in 1986. In Wilderness, you must survive after a plane crash in an unknown wilderness somewhere in the Sierra Nevada.

To do this, you explore the area using text commands, similar to the first MMORPGs. There are 300 different commands you can use (and must use) to interact with various things.
What makes Wilderness a survival game: The very fact that your main goal is to survive and find your way back to civilization qualifies Wilderness as a survival game and, strictly speaking, possibly as “the first.”
Like in Heart of Africa, you must ensure that you do not starve or die of thirst. Water must be boiled first, and found food tends to spoil quickly, so you are always on the lookout.
Additionally, you will get exhausted if you are on the move too long and need to camp, which is also dangerous if you do not set up a proper camp. Encounters with wild animals occur more frequently and pose threats to you. Other people you meet are rare to never.
How did it continue afterwards?
This is how survival games developed in the 90s: Shortly after Wilderness, the roguelike survival adventure UnReal World was released for Windows in 1992. UnReal World combines many of the aspects of the previous games but has a significantly more demanding graphical interface.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8fT3rjW7dY
The main challenge still remains survival, but in UnReal World, you already have the opportunity to develop your character to some extent by adopting traits of Finnish cultures and increasing skills, such as crafting.
UnReal World was even adopted on Steam in its original version and can be played from there.
This is what newer survival games look like: In 2003, Stranded was released, a survival game that revolutionized the genre once more and brought a new feature to the forefront that continues to shape survival to this day: base building.

Similar to Robinson Crusoe, you are stranded on an island and try to return to civilization. Since that is not so easy, you have to survive somehow. To do this, you gather stones, wood, and food, build structures, and defy hunger, thirst, and wild animals.
This is what survival games are like today: Modern games such as ARK and Conan Exiles combine many of the features that distinguished their predecessors, expand them, or add their own unique characteristics, such as:
However, they all share the need to survive and progress, which is likely what drives most fans of the genre. And in the future, a constant stream of new adventures is sure to follow:
The developers of League of Legends, Riot Games, have imposed a penalty on the organization G2 Esports. Their top laner, Martin “Wunder” Hansen, was caught playing World of Warcraft Classic. The LoL team thanks Riot.
What was the penalty? A tracker shows that Riot Games has imposed a penalty of $1000 on G2 Esports. This was on Friday, September 13, 2019 (via LEC Penalty Tracker).
Officially, Riot Games says nothing about it; the only information is that the penalty was due to a “Commercial Violation”.
From this information, one could not conclude what it is actually about. However, from the team’s reaction, it becomes clear: Riot Games must have caught top laner Wunder playing WoW Classic, not privately, but in an official Twitch stream.
WoW Classic is currently appealing to many gamers.
Thank you for the penalty!
This is how the team reacts: G2 Esports issued a statement on Twitter.
“Dear Riot Games, we would like to formally thank you for imposing the penalty on us after we demonstrated that Wunder plays WoW Classic. Now we finally have a valid reason to uninstall the game from his PC.
Best regards, G2 Esport.”

When did Wunder supposedly play? This is unclear. According to the website Dotesports, it is suspected that Wunder might have been checking out WoW Classic while an LEC broadcast was running.
This would have happened during an official Riot stream. It is understandable that the LoL developers do not find this very cool.
What’s behind it: G2 Esports and 23 other LoL teams are currently preparing for the LoL Worlds. Therefore, the teams want to ensure that all players focus on LoL and give their best there.
LoL is time-consuming at this level, and the teams train many hours a day – playing in “scrimmages” against other top teams. Some professionals from Asia are known to continue playing LoL in their free time, wandering somewhere in the solo queue and causing trouble.
G2 Esports is among the top 3 favorites for the LoL Worlds
What are G2 Esports’ chances at the Worlds? G2 Esports is currently considered the best team in Europe and one of the favorites for the Worlds. A betting agency currently sees the winning chances of the teams as follows (via nicerodds):
In second place is Funplus Phoenix, the strongest team from China – they dominated their league there 13-2
and G2 Esports from Europe is already in third place
At the important LoL tournament “MSI” in May 2019, G2 Esports surprisingly managed to beat the Koreans from SKT1 in the semifinals and win the tournament against the top team from the USA, Team Liquid.
In Borderlands 3, it is not easy to find legendary weapons. However, at a very specific point in the game, players have just found a veritable source of legendary weapons: A loot spot.
Legendary weapons in the endgame: Anyone who has completed the story in Borderlands 3 can still engage in all sorts of side quests and collect weapons. No matter which class is being played – legendary weapons are particularly sought after by players.
In the endgame of Borderlands 3, players have now found a way to farm a lot of legendary weapons in a very short time. We will show you the location below. For those who have not finished the story yet, here comes a mild spoiler warning!
If you do not want to see images from the endgame, you might prefer to read elsewhere. Here you can learn, for example, how to use emotes:
Legendary weapons – the location: The spot described by several players – for example on Reddit – is especially worthwhile in the endgame. This is the Jakob estate.
Here you will find a so-called Loot Tink. The enemies known as “loot goblins” in older Borderlands installments appear more frequently in Borderlands 3.
Where exactly you can find the Tink is documented on a map by “WhimsicalJest” on reddit:
This is what makes the spot special: At the estate, a Loot Tink appears every time – at least currently. Even after you respawn, you will find a Loot Tink there again.
Since there is a respawn point just a few meters in front of the mentioned spot, you only need seconds to encounter a Loot Tink after a fast travel. Defeat him, collect the weapons, respawn, and repeat the process.
This is the role of the endgame: After completing the story, you can start the Mayhem Mode. This introduces random elements and various difficulty levels. The higher the difficulty, the better the rewards.
Many players who have grabbed the legendary weapons played at Mayhem level 3. Some also obtained good weapons at level 2. The spot can best be exploited in the endgame.
How long will there be legendary weapons at this location? It is currently completely open whether the guaranteed Loot Tink at the Jakob estate will remain in the game. Many players expect that it will soon be patched out – after all, the weapon source undermines the purpose of the endgame.
You should also consider whether you really want to exploit this path. After all, a rain of legendary weapons is not necessarily beneficial for long-term motivation if you are aiming to find the best guns in the endgame.
Speaking of weapons: Borderlands 3 has a lot of crazy firearms in store. For example, a weapon that shoots weapons:
Borderlands 3 makes it very easy for trophy hunters. You can already see this in the trophy list. The coveted platinum trophy is achievable with just one playthrough and some extra effort.
Borderlands 3 features crazy characters and outlandish weapons. However, the trophies for Playstation 4 (Achievements for Xbox One) are not quite as crazy. Most bronze and silver badges can be achieved easily, unlike games like Destiny or Monster Hunter World.
This is what makes the platinum trophy in Borderlands 3 so easy
In Borderlands 3, the bronze and silver trophies are very easy to obtain and involve hardly any challenges, as is often the case with other games. Here are some ways to unlock achievements in Borderlands 3:
through level-ups
by unlocking skins
through kills
through missions
through discoveries
through fun features like the slot machine
by interacting with others
A few trophies in detail: From this selection, you can already see that most trophies in Borderlands 3 are not rocket science.
Among other things, you need to reach level 2 or level 10, tip Moxxi, or win a grenade at the slot machine. Once you have reached level 50 with your character, you should have already collected many of the trophies.
There’s more waiting after the story: After your first playthrough, there are still a few trophies to collect. You’ll need to visit some of the named locations. Additionally, you must complete all side missions. This will allow you to see many of these locations anyway.
There are also trophies for additional content. One of them involves using a golden key:
In other games, you have to grind for platinum trophies
Although you must earn all other trophies to receive the platinum trophy in a game, it goes pretty quickly in Borderlands 3. However, that is not the case with many other games. There, you have to invest many hours to achieve platinum status. We have brought you two examples.
This trophy was frustrating in Destiny 1: We’re talking about the achievement “Flawless Raider.” Players must complete a raid without any teammates dying. This requires a very good group.
It’s a trophy where your entire raid has to perform well. Thus, you have only limited control over it. This can cost you several hours of gameplay. Alternatively, you need to find out how to handle the fun solo, which is rarely easy.
These trophies were super frustrating in Monster Hunter World: In Monster Hunter World, there are two particularly rare trophies: You need to gather both the smallest and largest of nearly every monster type to obtain silver and gold crowns for your monster compendium.
You need perseverance and a sense of humor—otherwise, you’ll throw your controller out the window. The size of the monsters is random and you can hardly influence it yourself:
There are some event quests that promise more crowns.
Your chance also increases with tempered monsters.
Nevertheless, it often takes many tries—not necessarily difficult, but tedious.
I never want to grind for a platinum trophy for so long again.
Larus036 on Twitter
This is why Borderlands 3 is different: Borderlands 3 makes it easy for players to quickly obtain the platinum trophy. Other games, on the other hand, require you to invest hundreds of gaming hours. Ultimately, which trophies you pursue is up to you. After all, the fun should not be neglected alongside the trophy hunting.
If you want to tackle the platinum trophy of Borderlands 3, here is the list of all achievements for you:
This is the complete trophy list for Borderlands 3

And to help you get started with Borderlands 3, we have guides with tips for you:
The Unova Stone is now an essential part of Pokémon GO. You must use this evolution item from Gen. 5 to evolve certain Pokémon like Pansear or Eelektrik. We show you all the information.
What do you need to do? You can receive the new Unova Stone through research breakthroughs. The older stones can be found by spinning PokéStops, and you can get the Sinnoh Stone for completing Trainer battles.
You unlock a research breakthrough by completing field research for seven days and claiming the reward. Along with encounters with Pokémon, Stardust, candies, or other rewards, you may now randomly receive the Unova Stone here.
What are the chances of getting the Unova Stone? Trainers report on Reddit that there is no guarantee of receiving the stone from a research breakthrough. So you will also need some luck.
In September and October, you will receive these Pokémon as a research breakthrough:
These Pokémon are eligible: In the official announcement, Niantic mentions only one Pokémon that can evolve with the new Unova Stone, Lampent. However, players have already discovered that the following Pokémon from Gen 5 also require the Unova Stone for evolution:
Vegimak (English Pansage)
Pansear (English Pansear)
Sodamak (English Panpour)
Lampent (English Lampent)
Somniam (English Munna) Not yet in the game
Picochilla (English Minccino) Not yet in the game
Eelektrik (English Eelektrik) Not yet in the game
Some of the listed Pokémon are not yet in the game. Data mining of the game data revealed that these species will require the stone for evolution when they are released in the game.
To summarize, Trainer Ironheart786 created the following graphic:
There are curious records in the gaming scene. However, what YouTuber TheHeightAdvantage accomplished in Minecraft is quite extraordinary.
What record did TheHeightAdvantage set? The YouTuber managed to complete in the still very popular Minecraft without using his character’s legs. In other words, he did not walk even once in the game!

How did he do that? TheHeightAdvantage created a Minecraft world and removed the key binding for walking. He then mined resources around him as usual.
From these resources, he built a boat that he placed next to him. By getting into the boat, he automatically moved forward. He then picked up the boat into his inventory and placed it next to him again. This way, he was able to move forward.
After TheHeightAdvantage found a water source, he used a bucket to create a sort of river and sailed on it with his boat. Later, he discovered a pig and used it as a mount. With this, he finally completed the game after about 30 hours.
Can you complete Minecraft? Minecraft is basically an endless game. The “end” is considered to be the victory over the Ender Dragon. However, it is possible to continue playing afterwards.
Minecraft fans are thrilled
How did TheHeightAdvantage come up with this idea? He explains that he thought of this method after finding a seed (the code for the game world) with which he spawned next to a minecart. He originally wanted to complete Minecraft from that minecart, but that didn’t work out. And so the idea with the boat came to him.
Did he cheat? At the end of the video, there is a displayed distance traveled “per pedes”. Did he therefore walk after all? TheHeightAdvantage explains, however, that collisions with creatures count as a “step”. He promises that he never actually walked in the game.
What do players think about it? This story is hotly debated in the Minecraft community. Many are impressed and congratulate TheHeightAdvantage. Now the community is wondering in what crazy way Minecraft could be completed next.
Blizzard justifies why there will be penalties for exploit users in WoW Classic. They exploited a bug with significant consequences.
Just yesterday we reported on a massive exploit in World of Warcraft Classic. Some guilds and players found a way to respawn raid and dungeon bosses multiple times in WoW Classic. Blizzard has announced penalties for those who exploited this issue.
Some fans did not understand why Blizzard would impose penalties when the fault lies in the programming of the developers. Blizzard has now clarified several points regarding this.
Those who cheat intentionally are guilty: The community manager Lore explained in a lengthy post in the forum what the crucial point is regarding whether players will be punished: intent.
If the exploit was intentionally induced to profit and farm raid bosses multiple times, then it is clearly intent. This is especially true considering that the exploit is quite complex and one has to take several steps to induce it.
While it is possible to accidentally stumble upon this bug, repeated occurrences and subsequent exploitation clearly indicate that one intended to profit and gain an unfair advantage.
Not everyone will be punished: The community manager emphasizes that not all players who encountered the exploit will be punished. If it can be established that the exploit was singular and not intentionally created, then one can probably expect no penalties.
As an example, they mentioned the streamer Esfand. He also experienced another bug where suddenly the entire raid respawned. However, he and his group did not exploit this bug and reported it to Blizzard immediately.
The difference is obvious: In conclusion, Lore says:
Of course, neither of the two situations is ideal – we are doing our best to create a fair playing field for everyone. But there is a massive difference between “The instance was reset and we don’t know why” and “If we use this one weird trick, we can farm the instance boss endlessly.” And that really is the key factor that turns a small accident into an exploit.
What penalties are there now? The extent of the penalties is now known. The penalties range from a 1-month ban to a permanent account ban, presumably in connection with whether the player has had negative behavior in the past. Additionally, all ill-gotten items will be stripped from the affected players.
Do you think it’s good that Blizzard distinguishes so clearly between exploit and “accident” and wants to enforce penalties? Or are the developers themselves at fault for leaving such a bug in the game?
In FIFA 20, the tallest and shortest players in Ultimate Team are known. We provide a list of all players over 2 meters and under 1.60 meters, along with the tallest Bundesliga professionals.
You need tall players in FIFA 20: When little can be done from the game and the opponent stands good defensively, it can help to simply cross the ball into the middle. If you have tall players up front and dominate the air, this can lead to the decisive goal.
Moreover, you especially need a few giants in central defense to prevent the opponent from overwhelming you with crosses and headed goals.
The tall players are usually heavier and slower than the small, nimble players, but they have significant advantages with high balls.
If you notice: “Wow, the opponent is winning every header!”, you can now turn the tables with the following players and make the tallest giants in FIFA 20 FUT play.
Crouch is no longer in FIFA 20

Stats from Casey – Source: Futhead
Notable Aspects of the Tallest Players: In recent years, the well-known Englishman Peter Crouch was prominently featured among the tallest football players. However, he has since retired from active play.
Matt Casey was 1 centimeter taller in FIFA 19 than in FIFA 20. With 204 cm, he led the list of tallest players alone; in FIFA 20, he has to share the first place with other players.
Nearly all players over 2 meters are center-backs or strikers, only Sidibé plays in defensive midfield.
All players over 2 meters have a quite low overall rating. There is not a single gold player (75+ rating).
These are the tallest Bundesliga players: In the Bundesliga, there is no player over 2 meters, but some tall players with significantly better overall ratings than the players listed above:
Aaron Seydel – 199 cm (67, ST, Mainz)
Wout Weghorst – 197 cm (81, ST, Wolfsburg)
Lasse Sobiech – 196 cm (73, IV, Köln)
Bas Dost – 196 cm (ST, 82, Eintracht Frankfurt)
Dan-Axel Zagadou – 196 cm (79, IV, BVB)
Salif Sané – 196 cm (80, IV, Schalke 04)
Niklas Süle – 195 cm (85, IV, Bayern)
Jonathan Tah – 195 cm (83, IV, Leverkusen)
Following them are Selke, Vogt, and Kleindienst with 195 cm.
The highest overall rating among the tallest Bundesliga players belongs to Niklas Süle from FC Bayern Munich: 85.
Shortest Players in FIFA 20
These are the shortest players: All players under 1.60 meters are summarized here:
Kazuki Yamaguchi – 155 cm (56, MS, Shonan Bellmare)
Hiroto Nakagawa – 155 cm (66, ZOM, Shonan Bellmare)
Nahuel Barrios – 156 cm (70, LM, San Lorenzo de Almagro)
Joao Plata – 157 cm (72, LF, Real Salt Lake)
Chanathip Songkrasin – 158 cm (71, MS, Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo)
Maxi Moralez – 158 cm (76, ZOM, New York City FC)
Jonás Romero – 159 cm (58, ST, Atletico Tucuman)
Misael Dominguez – 159 cm (68, LM, Cruz Azul)
Daniel Villalva – 159 cm (71, RF, Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz)
The 5th generation is now in Pokémon GO! Since September 16, you can catch 3 new Shinys from the Unova region.
Which Shinys are available? There are no major surprises, as there are only the 3 new Shinys, which were announced earlier:
Nagelotz
Yorkleff
Klikk
These are the first Shinys from the 5th generation. Some trainers have already caught them and shared pictures.
Nagelotz, Yorkleff and Klikk – The new Shinys
Here’s what the Shinys look like: Pictures of the popular Shinys were shown on Reddit:
Nagelotz is significantly darker than the normal version. It’s easy to recognize.
Yorkleff has very little change. Its body is just a bit lighter, so you should take a good look when catching it.
Klikk is a bit golden. You shouldn’t have any trouble recognizing it.
How do you get the Pokémon? You can get Nagelotz and Yorkleff in 3 ways. You can find them in the wild, in 2-km eggs, and in 1-star raids.
However, Klikk is not available in the wild. It is similar to Sheinux from Gen 4, as you can only find it in raids and 10-km eggs.
How rare are the Shinys? We can’t say much about the exact rates yet. Nagelotz and Yorkleff will likely have a chance of 1 in 450. This is the rate for every normal Shiny in the wild. There are only a few exceptions.
Klikk is likely to have a slightly higher Shiny chance since you can’t catch it in the wild. However, it’s still too early to talk about an actual probability.
Will the Pokémon stay forever? Currently, the 3rd week of the Ultra Bonus is running, which is why Pokémon like Yorkleff and Nagelotz appear more frequently in the wild.
At the end of the event, on September 23, the spawns of the Pokémon will likely be reduced, but they will stay in the game forever.
Which Pokémon from the 5th generation can also be found, you can read here:
The story of WoW: Battle for Azeroth is likely coming to an end with Patch 8.2.5. But what happens next when the war campaign is completed?
Currently, the next Patch 8.2.5 is being tested on the PTR of World of Warcraft. Although it is only a “minor” patch, there seem to be some contents that will drastically advance the story. Recently, two cinematics were discovered that together last over 8 minutes. It has now also been revealed: Patch 8.2.5 concludes the war campaign!
Where does the info come from? The “splash screen” for the adventure guide is already available on the PTR of Patch 8.2.5. It always indicates what new contents are available and what players should tackle next. Here it is already explained that the war campaign is “coming to an end.” This makes it clear that the story surrounding the war between the Alliance and the Horde will now reach its climax and lead into a new narrative.
What comes after the war campaign? How exactly it continues after the war campaign is still unclear. However, the theory and the alleged leak might still hold true, that we will all die in Patch 8.3 and Sylvanas attacks the city of Stormwind. That would technically not be part of the war campaign anymore, but rather the consequences of the campaign. It could then seamlessly lead into the “Shadowlands” expansion, which has also allegedly been leaked.
Concrete info only at BlizzCon? According to Blizzard’s current schedule, it could very well be that we will see Patch 8.3 only at BlizzCon 2019 in November. Then Blizzard could not only present the big Patch 8.3 but also the upcoming expansion. Additionally, this could capture the possible hype that the two cinematics might have created.
In a few weeks, we will definitely know more.
How do you think it will continue in WoW with Patch 8.3? Do you believe in the Shadowlands leak? Or does Blizzard have something else up its sleeve?
In Destiny 2, on September 17th, the update 2.5.2.3 will be deployed. Maintenance is underway. You can learn about what is changing today here.
These are the important times on September 17th: Today, Bungie is rolling out a new update that includes a “Quality of Life” change. Maintenance is necessary, but this will only take place in the background, and the servers will remain online.
Maintenance will begin at 6:45 PM. No downtime is expected, but there may be outages on Bungie.net and the companion app.
At 7 PM, update 2.5.2.3 goes live. It will be available on all platforms worldwide.
At 11 PM, all Guardians will be kicked from their activities if they have not installed the update by then. You will be taken to the login screen and will only be able to log back in once update 2.5.2.3 is installed. So make sure to download the update in a timely manner.
By 11:05 PM, the maintenance should be complete.
Update 7:05 PM: The update is now live. It is being installed directly during login.
According to Bungie, there may be login issues until the end of the maintenance. If you have trouble pulling the update on PS4 and Xbox One, you should restart the console and Destiny 2.
What changes with update 2.5.2.3?
These are the changes: Bungie will release the full patch notes tonight when the update goes live. Update: The patch notes are now available:
The annual pass content is now available for all Forsaken owners.
The accounting is a PvE mode that was once particularly difficult and unpopular, but is now receiving some love from Bungie this September. After the mode was adjusted two weeks ago to make it easier and more rewarding, it will become even easier today.
There will now only be a weekly burning modifier and a rotation of the three modifiers “Brawler”, “Grenadier”, and “Heavyweight” in the accounting. This means that the mode will only have modifiers that empower you, and none that limit you.
Bungie’s goal is to make the mode more fun and rewarding, thus bridging the gap between you and your desired rewards. Your Guardian life will therefore be a little easier today.
Furthermore, the badge from the community challenge should be distributed this week. More information can be found here:
Which leagues are in FIFA 20? We present all licensed leagues and teams in the overview list – from the Bundesliga to the 3rd league and the Süper Lig. We also list the national teams and whether there are new leagues, teams, and changes regarding licenses.
So many leagues and teams does FIFA 20 have: As EA Sports announced at the end of July, they aim to create “unrivaled authenticity” in virtual football with an enormous licensing package of official leagues and teams. FIFA 20 will include:
more than 30 official leagues,
over 700 licensed teams
and more than 17,000 authentic players.
Additionally, EA Sports continues to hold the licenses for the Champions League and the Europa League.
In return, competitor Konami has secured the exclusive rights for their own football simulation eFootball PES 2020 for 3 years.
The same applies to River Plate (Núñez) and Boca Juniors (Buenos Aires FC) from Argentina.
Are there already new, announced leagues in FIFA 20? Yes, the Romanian league is considered confirmed. In polls, there is often a demand for a fully licensed league in Brazil. However, PES 2020 holds exclusive rights here.
When it comes to stadiums, the situation with new licenses is different. EA Sports has secured 13 new Bundesliga stadiums for FIFA 20. Check out our list of FIFA 20 stadiums.
When will the complete list of leagues and teams be released? We expect the official league list only in September. However, EA has published a graphic along with the above information that already shows some of the promised “over 30 leagues”:

Are there also new leagues? This is not the final list of all leagues and teams. So far, only the Romanian League 1 is regarded as confirmed. If EA makes further announcements, this article will be updated immediately.
Last year, new leagues were announced in June and late July. Whether EA Sports will secure new licenses for FIFA 20 alongside Romanian League 1 remains to be seen.

Finnish League – 7%
Brazilian League (fully licensed) – 5%
Romanian League – 5%
Will there be a women’s league in FIFA 20? So far, it is only known that there will be women’s teams in the national teams. In the Volta mode and in career mode, you can also play as a woman. However, information about women’s leagues is still missing.
Whether EA will surprise with one or the other licensing package will be revealed at the latest in September.
In Pokémon GO there will again be regional Pokémon in the 5th generation. We present to you the monsters that you can only catch in certain regions of the world.
What are regional Pokémon? Since the 1st generation, there have been regional Pokémon. They are monsters that you can only find in certain regions of the world. This includes, for example, Pantimos, which can only be found in Europe.
Niantic confirmed: Along with the first wave of the 5th generation, there will also be some regional Pokémon in Pokémon GO. A total of 5 pieces and some evolutions are waiting for you in certain regions of the world.
Here you will find the regional Pokémon of the 5th generation
How many regional Pokémon are there? So far, 5 different Pokémon are known. 3 of them have further evolutions.
The 5th generation may still have more regional Pokémon. It will come in waves, which is why some of them are not yet available at the start.
Vegimak, Sodamak, and Grillmak
In order: Vegimak, Sodamak, and Grillmak
Where can you find the Pokémon? These 3 Pokémon depend on continents. Here you will find them:
Vegimak: Asia and the Pacific region
Sodamak: North and South America and Greenland
Grillmak: Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India
What is available in Germany? Here there is only Grillmak, the Heat Pokémon. The other two monkey Pokémon are only available in other regions.
What is special here: All 3 monkey Pokémon have an evolution. Vegichita, Sodachita, and Grillchita are the names of the evolutions.
Furnifraß and Fermicula
Furnifraß and Fermicula
Where can you find the Pokémon? You can find these Pokémon in the same regions as the two forms of Schalellos. The boundary is the border between the western and eastern hemispheres.
Furnifraß: western hemisphere
Fermicula: eastern hemisphere
This boundary runs through Greenwich in the United Kingdom. So you can still catch Furnifraß in some parts of Europe.
On the left side there is Furnifraß and on the right side Fermicula. Source: Lexas
What is available in Germany? Here you will only find Fermicula. Those who travel a bit in Europe will encounter Furnifraß in western England, Ireland, western France, Spain, and Portugal.
Which Pokémon in the 5th generation will become really useful, you can find here:
In GTA 5 Online the new super sports car “Krieger” has been released. The high prices are an important topic in the community.
How expensive is the car? In GTA Online, super sports cars are expensive and players have to dig deep into their pockets to afford this luxury. The latest super sports car, the Benefactor Krieger, costs 2,875,000 GTA dollars in the game. This makes it the most expensive super sports car in the game that can be used in races.
If you want to buy the car for real money to save hours of grinding, you will need to lay down about €35, depending on what type of Shark Cash Cards you want to buy.
For €38, you get 3.5 million GTA dollars. For €15, you get 1.25 million GTA dollars.
Overview of Shark Card prices on Steam
How long do you need to grind for that? The average player in GTA Online earns about 200,000 to 400,000 GTA dollars per hour with businesses like Import/Export. This depends on how efficient the gameplay is, where you bought your warehouses, and whether you get help from other players. In the best case, you will need to grind for almost eight hours for the new Krieger to gather the money for the purchase price.
If you are less skilled at grinding or do not have the ideal conditions, it can easily take 14 hours or more.
In our money guide to GTA Online, we show you effective ways to quickly earn a lot of money:
To put the price of 2,875,000 GTA dollars for the new super sports car in perspective, we show you some comparisons with vehicles from GTA Online.
Other cars: The cheapest super sports car in GTA Online is the Coil Voltic, which costs 150,000 GTA dollars. You could buy it 19 times to reach a total of 2,850,000 GTA dollars.
For 3,750,000 GTA dollars, you can get the Batmobile “Vigilante” with rocket propulsion. With this rocket, a completely new driving experience is created. Even though the handling of the Vigilante is quite poor, you can have a lot of fun with the rocket boost and launch other cars into the air.
The Vigilante in GTA Online
The Progen Emerus is almost as expensive as the Krieger, costing 2.7 million dollars. Players rank the Emerus and the Krieger at the top of the best super sports cars in GTA Online, excluding cars with rocket propulsion.
Is the Krieger worth its price? In the community, players wonder whether it is worth spending hard-earned money on the Krieger. Vehicle expert and YouTuber Broughy1322 tested the new car extensively and concluded that it drives well. It is only the fastest super sports car in GTA Online in certain situations.
Players say that the Krieger is particularly good in stunt races and worth its price. As a street vehicle, it depends heavily on personal taste.
The criticism of the Krieger: Players criticize that the Krieger has too few options for visual customization. One wishes for more freedom for such an expensive car. Also, acoustically, the car would not bring any changes to the game. A player writes on Reddit “It sounds exactly like every other super sports car”.
Although the performance of the car is praised, one wishes for more tuning options for such a high purchase price of the base version.
What do you think about the prices of super sports cars in GTA Online? Is it all too much for you or are the costs justified?
You can now earn money and RP with this treasure hunt:
In The Division 2, the PTS for Title Update 6 has now started. Here are the key details about the testing phase.
What is the PTS? The three letters “PTS” stand for “Public Test Server”. This is the public test server where you can preview upcoming changes and new features of the autumn update and send feedback to the developers.
How can one participate? The PTS is exclusively available via Uplay on PC. This is because Massive wants to quickly implement adjustments in the form of updates, which is significantly easier and faster on the PC than on PS4 and Xbox One. On consoles, updates have to undergo verification processes first.
The PTS is now available via Uplay (PC).
What content can you test? According to Massive, they want targeted feedback from the community, so the new features will be activated gradually:
Starting from September 16 (today), loot targeting and the Dark Zone are the focus
From September 24, new exotics, balancing, and bug fixes will be introduced
The PTS is expected to end on October 1
This timeline is only provisional and may change.
No narrative content, but plenty of adjustments
What can you expect on the PTS? Massive assures that there will be absolutely no new narrative content on the PTS. This means that story missions or secret assignments that will be introduced with Episode 2 and Title Update 6 will be missing from the PTS.
With the PTS for Episode 1, it was different – agents complained about spoilers, as PC players could view the new story content first.
This is loot targeting: From today, loot targeting is in focus. This is the name of the new loot feature that allows you to specifically acquire the items you still need. In certain areas and special missions, the loot pools are restricted, allowing you to get to the item type you desire more quickly. You can read all the details here:
In addition, expect a lot of bug fixes and gameplay changes during the PTS phase. Massive has published a lengthy, preliminary patch notes list for Title Update 6 on the Ubisoft forum. You can read through it if you have some time.
Otherwise, tomorrow you will find a summary of the patch notes highlights on MeinMMO.
After each testing phase, Massive will send a survey to the testers to gather as much feedback as possible. They also point out that many nerfs and buffs to items, skills, and weapons are not fixed and can change during the PTS. The update is still in the middle of development.
When will Title Update 6 be released? Massive indicated “October” as the release timeframe. Since the PTS closes on October 1, it can be assumed that the update will be released in about two to three weeks afterwards.
The Worlds 2019, the World Championships in League of Legends, are taking place in Europe this year. The first 2 weeks will be held in Berlin. However, the top teams from LoL are complaining about the German capital. The network and provider Vodafone are “just terrible.”
Why must the LoL elite go to Berlin? The LoL Worlds are a big deal. Only a total of 24 teams qualify for the event. Of those, the weaker 12 teams must go through a preliminary selection.
The action takes place in the first 2 weeks in Berlin. In the “Play-In” and the group phase, 16 of the 24 teams will be eliminated.
The Play-In Round 1 takes place at the LEC studio in Berlin from October 2 to 5 – here the 12 “weaker” teams compete in 4 groups: the 4 teams that perform the worst will be eliminated. The teams that must qualify include Clutch Gaming from North America, Splyce from Europe, and Unicorns of Love from Russia.
In the second round on October 7 and 8, the 8 surviving teams will compete against each other – again, 4 teams will be eliminated.
In Round 3, the group phase begins at the “Verti Music Hall” in Berlin. It lasts from October 12 to 20. Here, the 4 surviving teams will compete alongside 12 directly qualified teams for 8 spots – now 8 more teams will be eliminated. The star teams will enter the tournament during the group phase, such as SK Telecom T1 (Korea), G2 Esports (Europe), Team Liquid (USA), or Invictus Gaming (China, World Champion 2018).
This is how it continues: The remaining 8 teams will compete against each other in a knockout system. There will be 5 match days, spread from October 25 to November 10 in Madrid and Paris.
But the final is still far away. For some of the best LoL teams in the world, it means: They are already stuck in Berlin to prepare for the start on October 2.
Teams complain about Berlin and Vodafone
This is how the teams react: The site Dotesports has compiled some tweets from the coaches of the top teams.
Hadrin “Duke” Forestier, a coach of the Splyce team, says:
“Day 5 and we still have no internet. I don’t know if we’ll survive until the start. Jokes aside: I don’t understand how one of the largest esports leagues in the world can still remain in fucking Berlin. We’ve already lost two full weeks of training in this split because the internet was down.”

The coach of the Misfits, Moose, asks if they have connection issues with Vodafone. They are “fucking awful,” just terrible.
Also, a coach from Fnatic says that the lousy internet has already affected their training sessions.
The team manager of Schalke, Nicolas Farnir, adds that he has already contacted the provider 10 times in the last 4 months. That is the biggest problem in Berlin. The Schalke manager says: Almost every team has problems with the provider Vodafone. The problem has been known for months, but they cannot solve it.
Few esports players understand why the internet in Berlin is so bad
What is the problem? As Dotesports reports, the Berlin Chamber of Commerce stated that it is a structural problem. The copper lines are incapable of transmitting more than 250 megabits per second.
At Dotesports, they seem to wonder why Germany and Berlin, as important technology locations, lag so much behind when it comes to the internet.
In Fortnite, a live event with a rocket is expected to start at the end of Season 10. We will show you what hints about the event have been found.
What kind of event is this? Many hints point to a rocket launch event. A rocket is currently being built at Dusty Depot, and leaks from data miner Lucas7yoshi show what the rocket might ultimately look like.

Where is the rocket being built? On the back building at Dusty Depot, a scaffolding can be seen. Apparently, the rocket is going to be quite high. The Scientist probably needs a tall scaffold to work on it.
How far along is the construction? When entering the building where the scaffold is, you can already see the beginning of the rocket’s construction. In the center, the lower part has been placed, and if you look closely, you can see the similarity to the rift beacons.
This is special: In a corner of the building, parts of a Mech are being scanned. Is the rocket possibly made out of Mech remnants? It might be possible that the Scientist is taking apart the robots to use the materials for his project.
Is the story about to end with a new map?
Why a new map? Since the story of Seasons 4-6 is repeating, it might be possible that it is now coming to an end. If the story is concluded, a new map would make sense.
If you closely examine the names of the locations, you can see how similar they are to their predecessors. For example, Pressure Plant becomes Power Plant and Snobby Shores becomes Sunny Shores.
When does the event start? The start date is not yet known. However, the preparations for it can be well observed in the game. The first rocket event in Season 4 served as an introduction to Season 5. So it is likely that this event will take place at the end of Season 10.
In this guide, we show you where to find the giant cube, the rift at Loot Lake, and the landing capsule in a meteor:
